Hi everyone. Signing in from Utah.

[Fool-hearted Footslogger]

Another guy from UT here. If you have questions about hunting or fishing in UT let me know. I don't know it all but I've been around.

Hey Wildabeest, I live in the Ogden area. How about you? Looks like you must have some ties to UT as well.

I have a cousin in Ogden. Stopped in to visit him a few years ago. He's a big shot fish biologist or something with Fish and Game.

That's cool. One of the State big game biologists is a close friend. I get a lot of insight to how the State works. I don't always agree with them, but I am empathetic.

Hello and welcome!

I live in Nevada but hunt Southern Utah sometimes. I have a whole whopping one point for deer as a non-resident in Utah, and am thinking of using it this year to go for a primitive muzzle-loader deer tag in the Zion or Boulder/Kaiporowitz units.

If you have any info about either unit I'd love to hear about it, and let me know if you have questions about hunting in Nevada.

I just looked up my cuz. Apparently, he just retired! He was Assistant Habitat Section Chief, Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. Did a LOT of fly fishing, mostly for cutthroat, but has landed over 75 species of fish on a flyrod. Pretty impressive to me! Paul Thompson.

I know the Zion unit fairly well although when I've hunted there it's been during the archery hunt. Depending how late the muzzleloader hunt is, that Zion unit can start to clear out as the deer migrate into the Paunsaugunt unit. With only one point you're playing the lottery. Here is what I see for those two tags. There are way better options at the odds level if you really want a tag. If you had to play one, roll your dice on the Boulder unit.
